GENERAL NOTES:
(a) The external pressure charts do not account for reduction of buckling strength due to creep under long‐term loads. The effect of creep
on buckling shall be considered at temperatures for which allowable stresses are shown italicized in Tables 1A, 1B, 5A, and 5B, and in
boldface in Tables 2A and 2B.
(b) The external pressure chart assigned for a particular material is obtained from the stress tables 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 5A, and 5B under the
column for External Pressure Chart No. for that material and is mandatory, with the exception of Tables 5A and 5B.
